I installed using the iBook kernel image from http://www.ppckernel.org/kernel.php?id=20 It detected the Superdrive as hda and the harddisk as hdc, so i had to do fdisk/mke2fs/yaboot by hand. After running fdisk and creating the filesystem, I had to mount it to /target and let the installer install the base system. Then I had to download the latest Yaboot from http://penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot > What about the X11? Has anyone some sample > configuration for it?

When booting with rivafb, the screen stays black, and in syslog it says: rivafb: could not retrieve EDID from OF is that related to the error? > > Thanks! > Panagiotis MfG Alex
